Imagine if some of our guards could hit the WIDE OPEN shots they get?  TJD would have plenty of room to operate in the post. 

You can’t run the ball when your QBs can’t throw the ball

Turns out Josh was right 

If he was right, then we wouldn't have beaten 5 of the last 6 top ten teams we played.  The statement stood on its own regardless of outcome.

I wish Ohio State would have gotten the memo that it takes at least 5-6 years to build a program into being somewhat decent.

Good assessment by Jay. “Indiana got it down to 6, then missed an easy layup, gave one up on the other end, and that was the game”.

Geronimo is 1 of 12 from the line.

It is sort of ironic that the Big Ten teams with the highest projected seeds are:

1seed Michigan (second year coach)

1seed OSU (4th year)

2 seed IL (4th year)

I'll be back again next game, but it's getting harder and harder.

Reality check for this team - losing by 20+ on national TV with their family and friends watching.  Will they put in the work after this game or wilt?

[cappymo14 2,276]

I might put put OSU into the final four on my bracket.....

On to the next one.

It’s been like this for years now. The disappointment hurts less now, though. I’ve come to expect it.

I remember when many, including myself, thought that we got the better coach of the 3 that came in to the Big Ten four years ago. Definitely hasn’t aged well...

Glass did not pick the right coach.

For as bad as TJD started, he finished with 23 points on 10 of 14 shooting.  A lot of those came with the came when the game was out of hand.  Race needs to finish better around the rim too.  Hell, everyone could learn a thing from O$U with their ability to finish around the rim.

Many did.  And those claiming that wasn't the sentiment both at IU and elsewhere are being revisionist.

It’s easy to finish around the rim when IU’s guards don’t rebound and give up wide open layups...not that our layups were contested

Embarrassing........ I just can’t stand to watch an Archie Miller coached team anymore (been that way for awhile). No way we will ever be relevant with him as coach.

Been fairly silent this year for basketball, and there’s a reason for it. Coach Miller needs to go (and yes, I know it won’t happen until after next year), but this is a major train wreck of mediocrity!

Good news, 2 more noon Saturday starts to come!

[HoosierAloha 29,887]

Another game with 10 missed FTs, outrebounded, more TOs, etc.  FUN!
